SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The last accounts which we published from Madrid represent both the Government and the people in that capital as anxiously expecting the resolution 'of the French Ministry respecting the course to be adopted in the present position of affairs in Spain. Notwith standing the very unfavourable impression that the late Ministerial changes are calculated to produce, we are unwilling to anticipate a decision so adverse to our own hopes—so dangerous, we repeat, to the interests of Louis Philippe—as a refusal to co-operate with England in support of the Queen's Government. It is said that the plan of co-operation proposed by Thiers could not possibly effect the object to which it was di rected. We think differently. The Minister who proposed the plan—every member of the Cabinet whose opinion was of any worth—the eminent military men to whom the plan was submitted—all thought dif ferently. We do not discuss the probable result of a military operation, the result of which must de pend on so many contingencies. But there is obvious folly in attempting to draw from the magnitude of the intervention that took place in 1823 an argument against the co-operation that is asked for in 1836. France would be now with the people—then she was against them. If France interpose now it must be to support, not, as formerly, to suppress the Constitution of 1812. The closing of the frontier against the sup plies of Don Carlos—the occupation of the Bastan with a force of 10,000 men, thus leaving the Queen's troops to operate against the main body of the Carlists . - -would, we have little doubt, be sufficient to secure the speedy suppression of the rebellion. But, grant ing that the success of this plan is doubtful, should that influence the decision of the French Government? When Portugal was threatened with a Spanish inva sion, did the Minister of England stop to inquire whether a force of 20,000 or 30,000 men would be sufficient to protect our ally ? No. The question, Mr. Canning emphatically said, was, not whether a certain amount of force would suffice to protect Portugal, or whether it was prudent to incur the expense of the expedition, but whether or not we were bound by treaty to give the assistance that was asked. Of what value becomes the guarantee of any treaty if the fulfilment of its obligations is to depend upon the notion of the expediency enter tained by any Minister or any Sovereign ? It may or may not have been prudent in Louis Philippe to put his hand to the Quadruple Treaty. That is now ut terly beside the question. The policy of entering into it he should have considered before it was signed. All that we have now to inquire is, whether he be at liberty to violate or evade it ? Unquestionably he is not. Even if the fulfilment of that treaty threatened to be come a sows of danger, instead of extensive and lasting advantage, still is he equally bound to ad here to the obligations lie has contracted. This is the honest construction which suggests itself to every right-thinking man, and which practice has fortunately familiarised to the public mind of this country. But it would seem that a deviation from this straightforward course is justifiable under particular circumstances. Whenever Eng land or France may be called upon to fulfil the engagements they have contracted, it will be a suffi cient justification of refusal that they did not think they could do so with effect. The co-operation of Louis Philippe might not be successful in establishing the Constitutional Monarchy - of Spain ; therefore, though bound by treaty to afford it, he may refuse And the degraded driveller who insults common sense with this trash, is the representative, forsooth, not alone of the opinions, but of the feelings of the people of England ! The new Ministry of France cannot, then, adopt towards Spain a line of policy differing materially from, that proposed by Thiers. Whether or not they will do so, a few days must decide. When their determination is before us, call it " menace," or bullying," or what you please, we shall unreservedly speak our opinion. If Louis Philippe act honestly, his Government shall have the credit of it : if not, we shall say what appears to us the motive and the pro bable consequence of his conduct.—Morning Chron. To-morrow, as most of our readers are aware, th e Newspaper Stamp. Duties Act will comae into opera tion. In that Act there was inserted a clause which rindered it imperative upon each paper to publish with what, in the Radical slang, is denominated " distinctive (lie." The meaning of this, in plain Eng lish, is, that the name of the paper for which each stamp is issued shall he marl.:ed upon the stamp. This jocose proposition originated with the Grunticle, but, unluckily for our contemporary, Mr. Grote, one of the city members, took it for earnest. Now, Mr. Grote, be it remembered, had never been able up to that time to do much more than move whatever proposition had the ill-luck to he patronized by him in Par liament. On the contrary, though he raised many questio'ms, lie was never able to carry one. The " ive die" seemed destined to relieve him from this very disagreeable notoriety. Nobody could pos sibly object to the proposition, inasmuch as it was as harmless as it was stupid. It happened to be rather a new line for a ballot-monger—a recommender and supporter of the " sneaking system"—the great advocate of the craven crew who pretend to po litical rights, yet confess they are afraid to exer cise those rights openly—who' talk so largely about the " voice of the nation," but will not let us hear it—who never cease to threaten us with the " ma jesty of the people," yet would shut it up, like the prince of a puppet-show, in a wooden box. Still it was a first appearance for the very illustrious, but very ill-starred, Sir. Grote, in making a proposition which even the Ministerial majority of the House of Com mons could agree to. Against this proposition of a " distinctive die" we never said a syllable. In truth, we were positively in love with it for a moment—for that moment in which we vainly flattered ourselves that we might have the " die" done after our own fashion. We like it still, though the fashion of the die is to be fixed by the Government. We confess, however, candidly, that we have been not a little disappointed in learning, from the Stamp-office, that this said " distinctive die" is not yet ready—nay, that it will not be ready till the Ist of January ! Having made this announcement to our readers, we have nothing to add upon the subject, except, perhaps, to say that, as so much time has been taken for the preparation of this said die, we think it ought to be somewhat of a tasty affair—a thing that would do credit at once to Mr. Grote, the Grunticle, and the Government. If we thought it possible that, to that end, we could offer any suggestion to the Mi nisters, certainly this is a case in which we should be in clined to sink all political animosity and render the Grote- Grunticle gem as exquisite as possible. Now, there are three Misters Rice—M r . - Mee, senior, of the Trea sury ; Mr. Rice, junior, of the Treasury ; and a tertius pas, • a Mr. Rice, of th e S urrey Theatre. Each of these establishments, the Treasury and the Surrey,. ha :a Cupid of its own. That with which the first Rices are connected have a Cupid o f so l ong -landing, that the tg old boy's" age is as doubtful as his colour, and although th at, a s everybody k nows, became suddenly and unexpectedly grey som e years since, yet, in the present precariousness of politics, it assumes as many hues as a chameleon ever put on, and will assume as many as any chameleon can ever p ut on—to keep its place. As money, not worth, makes the man, so colour, not xonsistency, makes the Cupid, which ever has been, and seems destined always to be, but a very small creature. At the establishment on th e other side of the water—the Surrey, which consist,s, not, a s th e ot h er does, of "His Majesty's Servants" —there is also, as we have said, a Cupid—a black Cupid— w i le , i s personated by Rice tertius. Surely here is an openi ng for the Government. Why not make a graven im age of Mr. Rice, senior, of the Treasury, in the not inappropriate character of a black Cupid, and cove him never-dying fame on the " distinctive die ?" It would be only necessary to state, amone- t , other mis representations in a speech from the throne, that the Mr. Rice of the Treasury, and the Mr. Rice of the Surrey, were one and the same person; and we will Yen ture to say that, however untrue the assertion may be, it will be much nearer the fact than the rest of the speech, if those who made the last have to draw up that we suggest. We have three months and a half good yet till the Ist of January. May we hope that Lord Melbourne will be able " between thi s an d t h en " to spare an hour from weeping over his unniched saint, the Magdalen, and think of our proposition for canonizing another Cupid (he is only a black one) in the person of the senior Rice ! In this case, let us further recommend that the representative of the Black- Amour be displayed,—like a cherub on a tomb-stone, —with an Exchequer-bill at a discount in his mouth. This would not only neutralize Lord Palmerston's in fluence in the Cabinet, which, considering the mess he has made in foreign affairs, must be particularly desirable t o th e colleagues he has " done for" in that department, but it might possibly tend also (in the words of the speech from the Throne) to " tighten the ties" that connect the Whigs with Mr. Fowell Buxton, and the rest of those humane and religious gentlemen who are always palavering about the " poor blacks," but who support the Government in excluding " poor whites" from places of worship in England, and in giving a " heavy blow and a great discouragement to Protestantism in Ireland," where the poor are actually starving ! Times. " Drowning men," says the proverb, " will catch at straws." The recent conduct of the Tories is a case in point. Many a straw have they snatched at within the last few vsars. The last one is the rumour —invented, doubtless, by some of themselves—that Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlen is about to be elevated to the Bench, and that Mr. O'Connell succeeds him as At torney-General for Ireland. The Tories—that is to say, their organs of the press and those who yield a wholesale credence to their statements—rejoice at this rumour on two accounts. First, because, assuming it to be true, they leap to the conclusion that Mr. O'Loghlen's relinquishing the Attorney-Generalship for a seat on the Bench would, under all the circum stances, be demonstrable proof of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's conviction that a dissolution of the Melbourne Administration is at hand. Their se cond ground of joy at the report, taking it for granted that it is well founded, is, that Mr. O'Connell's accep tance of the Attorney-Generalship would put an entire and permanent stop to agitation in Ireland—would in other words, shelve him, for all popular purposes, for ever. In so far as concerns the Tory journals them selves, and those of their readers who are simple enough to believe anything, however improbable in itself, which they choose to assert—in so far as regards them, we think it a pity to dissipate the pleasant delusion. Most willingly would we let them dream on about the dissolution of the Government, and about Mr. O'Con nell's acceptance of the office of Attorney-General ; but we have a duty to perform to our readers, and that duty compels us to state, however great the pain it may inflict on the Tories, that there is not the sha dow of a foundation for either of the events embodied in the rumour to which we have alluded. That the Administration of Lord Melbourne is about to be broken up, is a point on which, perhaps, a denial is not needed. When was it stronger .. in the affections and sympathies of the people than it is at this moment ? The nation see the peculiar position in which it is placed ; they know it has to encounter the deadly hos tility of the Peers and a large minority of the Com mons, to say nothing of the bitter hate and endless in trigues of the Court party ; and because the people of the United Kingdom are fully aware of all this, they are ready, at a moment's notice, to make such a de monstration of their attachment to that Ministry, as would at once frighten the Tory faction out of the scanty remains of propriety of which they can still boast. Anomalous as it may at first sight appear, we do, we repeat, regard the combined hostility.of the Peers, the Tory Commons, and the Court party, to the Admi nistration of Lord Melbourne as the greatest security for its stability. What we always considered as the rock on which the present Government would split, if it was doomed to split at all, was the reposing a mis placed confidence on the adverse party, and a conse quent comparative disregard of the support of the people. Lord Melbourne, however, has happily had his eyes open to this danger, and has wisely resolved to guard against it. He has openly declared that he has no sympathy with, no dependance on the heredi tary Tory Peers, or the party with which they are identified. He has clone still more than this ; he has fearlessly avowed himself to he with and for the peo ple. To talk then of the dissolution of such a Govern ment, is just about as rational as are the notions enter tained by the unfortunate inmates of St. Lukes, or of any similar institution. 'Why do not the Tories' amuse themselves with the hypothesis that it were practicable for some half dozen of their number to re move St. Paul's ? There would be just as much reason in the idea a's there is in the notion that they can displace the Government of Lord Melbourne be one of their own. As to the weak invention of Mr. O'Connell's becoming the Attorney-General for Ire land, it is just entitled to the same attention as the other part of the story. There is one party who ought to know something about the matter, who says there is not a word of truth in it. That party is Alr. O'Con nell himself. It is only a few months since he pub licly declared that he would accept of no office under any Government. The Tories themselves will, we dare say, admit that the Attorney-Generalship is an office of this description. The Hon. and Learned Gentle man will therefore decline entertaining the proposal, should it be made to him, for one little moment. Mr. O'Connell seeks to emancipate his countrymen from their hereditary bondage ; and no one knows better than he, that to accept of any Government office would be to deprive himself of all power of ameliorating the condition of Ireland.—Morning Advertiser. It is not because we have any feeling of admiration for Louis Philippe's course of policy in general that we cordially approve of one part of it—that which led to the dissolution of the Cabinet of M. Thiers—a Minis ter who disgracefully signalised himself by being the persecutor of freedom in Switzerland, while he was the supporter of a ferocious and unprincipled democracy in Spain ! Although: the Ministry that has succeeded the late one is not calculated, either by its talents or public virtues, to achieve a great or glorious destiny, we arc, nevertheless, pleased with the retributive jus tice that worked the fall of M. Thiers, while he was working the overthrow of Swiss independence. Strik ing, as he did, at the existence of real liberty in a land where its name is associated with splendid re collections, he precipitated himself from power by rush ing to embrace its blood-smeared phantom in Spain. The Minister who threatened a " hermetical blockade," unless the altars of national hospitality were razed to the earth in the mountain-home of William Tell—he who would have the fugitive victims of Russian tyranny hunted from the land which had given them an asylum into the toils of the oppressor, tried at the same time every art of solicitation and intrigue to induce his Royal Master to send his armies across the Pyrenees, and enable a licentious and cruel faction to establish by foreign bayonets, their system of democratic terror and rapine upon the ruins of an ancient monarchy. Fortunately for himself and his own Crown, Louis Philippe did not take the same view of the Spanish ques tion as his late Minister. He did not allow himself to be cajoled or bullied into the projected intervention by the Palmerston of France. He is undoubtedly a party to the Quadruple Treaty ; but that treaty was devised as much to repress the Democrats of Spain as to discourage the Carlists. It was a treaty to support the Princess-Regent at the head of a juste milieu system of policy ; and if Louis Philippe now interfered in Spain, on behalf of the Democrats, who have over thrown that system, he would be trampling on his own Work. Though we do not look upon Louis Philippe as quite the wisest of Kings, we believe him a sufficiently shrewd politician to bean overmatch for any dozen states men the Thiers and Palmerston calib r e o f i n tellect. SOITI C f of our Whig-Radical Contemporaries have re cently discover e d th a t th e Ki ng o f t h e F renc h i s i n rather cl oser intim ac y with the absolute North ern P ower s than with the Western mock-liberal alliance. It is now some years sinc e we stated the same thing, and thereby Whig -Radical b provoked those , hig-Radical journals to assail us with not a little of th at so lit vulgar ribaldry and flippant abuse in which they er a ydeal. Those journals were then the panegyrists of Louis Philippe and his Government ; nor were they sparing o f their unpa triotic eulogies upon those Do ctr inaire Ministers who so cruelly cajoled our Poulet Th -- °Tasons and Dr. Bow rings on the subject of "free trade." We had better proofs than his refusal to send an army across the Pyrenees, to support Sergeant 9arcia's Democratic dynasty, for believing that Louis Philipp e has long been on a more intimate footing of alliance with Ru ss i a than with England. His own sagacious perception of the danger arising from having a Jacobin Club ruling a nation next d oor t o F rance , wou ld, o f itself, account for his refusing to agree to the Thiers and Palmerston project. He sees his neighbour's house on fire, and he does not wish to kindle a torch at the conflagration to burn down his own.—Morning Herald. On Friday, the 2d, we stated that information had been given to us, by a respectable authority, that very angry recriminations had passed between the Cabinets of the Tuileries and St. James's, on the everlasting question of Spain, and that Lord Palmerston had in his anger gone to the dangerous length of threatening Louis Philippe. We did not at the moment attach all the importance to the communication that it deserved, because we could not, though fully conscious of the weak mind of our Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs, imagine that his poverty of understanding would carry him so far as to indulge in impotent and useless menaces against the French Monarch, who has not even taken the trouble of concealing from all the world that he was playing a double part. But several arti cles which have since appeared in the Ministerial press convince us that the assertion was well founded, and that the noble author of the Quadruple Alliance was resorting to most irregular means of carrying his threats into execution. Judging from the tone of papers which are in direct communication with him, or are influenced by the medium of his dependants, we find that the ignoble plan is resorted to of in flaming the public mind of France against the Sovereign whom we so loudly and so lately proclaimed as our best ally. Is it proper that this strong distinction should be drawn between the King of the French and the French people, and that every inflammatory topic that can be urged is addressed to them, for the pur pose, not of fomenting another revolution—for we cannot think that so diabolical an idea has been entertained—but of alarming the nation generally against their ruler, and of compelling him to submit to public opinion, if it can be forced to make common cause with the republican movement in Spain ? When the first of the articles we allude to appeared we did not pay it much attention—sup posing that the incitement to disorder was in its usual strain of providing what it calls good govern ment for other countries; but when we found the same thought working through another Ministerial organ and clumsily imitated in a weekly publication, the conviction was forced upon us, that the whole proceeded from the same source, and that the Foreign Office had issued its fiat of rebel lion. We also find in the Dutch, the French, and the German papers, announcements of the quarrel which has taken place between the two Cabinets, and assurances that most angry recriminations have been addressed from Downing-street. From all these proofs it is quite evident that Lord Palmerston has lost both his temper and judgment, and that he has pro ceeded to an extremity which must render his position more difficult—more ridiculous it could not appear— than it has hitherto been. We hope that the French nation is able to distinguish between the general cha racter of the British press and the public opinion which it represents, and those party prints which are the creatures of the Government. It may be assumed that the bulk of the people do not sympathise with the angry feelings of our Downing-street despot, and that the speedier France retires from the Quadruple Treaty the more fully shall they be gratified. How discredita ble is it to our Government that such paltry acts should be brought home to it. By what authority does any member of it avail himself of a newspaper press to excite the subjects of an ally against its So vereign ? Events are more powerful than wishes. They have determined the Spanish question, and Louis Philippe is right to profit by them. Are we to have the merit of being the instigators of the Republican movement at Madrid by the pains we are taking to foment one equally Radical at Paris ?—Morning It was adroitly rumoured yesterday in the monied circles that the Bank at Madrid, associated under Royal Charter, had agreed to advance the Government 500,0001., to be repaid out of the contribution, or forced loan, now inflicted on the country. We need not caution our readers against giving credit to this story. It is framed to serve a particular purpose. It is doubtful if the Bank has so much money in its cof fers, and if it has, it knows the Government too well to trust it with a dollar. The Constitutional Ministry may rob the Bank of whatever money it may be in possession of, and M. Mendizabal is not a person to hesitate about doing so, if his Junta de donativos be not in a thriving condition ? But the very idea of the Bank coining forward to support the Government, is absurd to an y person acquainted with its management ; and we consider the report another attempt at delusion, of the parties who have so frequently plundered the English public, by fabrications in Spanish affairs.— Morning Post. THE ARMY. COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN ItAINES, 77TH REGIMENT. Horse-Guards, Aug. 11, 1836. SlR,—Having had the honour to lay before the King the revised proceedings of a general court-martial held at I.llul - on the 15th day of June, 1836, and continued, by ad journments, to the 18th of the same month, for the trial of Captain J. R. Raines of the 77th Regiment, together with the decision of the Court, after its re-assembly on the 21st of July following, viz.:— " The Court-martial having carefully revised the evidence on the first charge, and having also considered the grounds upon which the Court has been ordered to revise their find ing on that charge ; viz., that whereas the general finding of guilty of the whole of the first charge could not be legally sustained, inasmuch as no evidence was adduced at the trial in support of the allegation that the imputation was false, of which the form and substance of that charge, in point of law, requires proof the Court, upon the before mentioned grounds, does find that the first charge has not been legally proved. The Court, therefore, reverses its former finding on that charge, and acquits the prisoner of the first charge. _ _ " The Court having acquitted the prisoner, Captain J. R. Raines, of the first charge, and having found him guilty of the second charge, adheres to their former sen tence, and adjudges that the prisoner, Captain J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regiment, be dismissed from his Majesty's ser vice. " The Court most humbly solicits his Majesty's favour able consideration of their former recommendation in behalf of the prisoner." I have to acquaint you that his Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. In consideration, however, of the earnest recommenda tion of the Court, and the very stronc , testimonials upon which that recommendation is founded, his Majesty was pleased to extend his most gracious pardon to the prisoner, with a view to his being allowed to retire from the service by the sale of his commission.—l have &c.

Staff Assistant Surgeon John Watkins, whose name ap peared in the last monthly obituary, died at Graham's town, Cape of Good Hope, after amputation of the arm, which he had dislocated in playing rackets. A fall from his horse subsequently fractured the same arm, and ren dered amputation necessary, of which he unfortunately died.—Limerick Courier. Major Maclean, 72d Regiment, who was put in arrest at the Cape of Good Hope last spring by Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, deputy-quarter-master-general, for neglect or dis obedience of orders, was brought before a military tribunal at King William's-town, and admonished. It was stated at the Newton Dinner on Thursday, that the bishopric of Manchester, had been offered to a relation of Mr. Stanley, the Under-Secretary for Ireland, and refused. Lieutenant Holman, R.N., the enterprising blind traveller, arrived at Moville, county Donegal, on the 27th ult., by the Robert Napier steamer, on a visit to his early friend Dr. Irvine. He is described as a most delightful and inter esting companion, and had been waited on by all the families round.—Hampshire Telegraph. Monday morning a dreadful accident occured to a lad, named Joseph Paxton, fourteen years of age, in the em ploy of Mr. Rummell, of Golden-lane, St. Luke's, cotton-factor. The unfortunate boy was attending a machine worked by steam, when his left hand got entangled in some cotton, and, with his arm, was drawn between two cog-wheels; the bones of the hand and arm up to the elbow-joint were completely smashed, and on conveying the sufferer to St. Bartholomew's hospital amputation just below the shoulder was immediately performed. From the shock the whole system has received the life of the boy is considered in great danger. Mr. Beckford, late of Fonthill, now of Lans downe-crescent, Bath, whose ardour for collecting articles of vertu, splendid pictures, and rare books, notwithstanding the advanced period of his life, is still undiminished, has taken and added the adjoining house in the Crescent to his own, to enable him to arrange and display his invaluable collection of gems and pictures, for which there was not room in hi 3 old residence. His son-in-law and his grandson, the Duke of Hamilton and the Marquis of Douglas, have recently been staying some days with Mr. Beckford.

Mr. James Honeywood, the son of the apothecary to the City Dispensary, Queen-street, Cheapside, appeared to answer the complaint of a young woman named Sarah Jacobs, who charged him with impropriety of conduct to wards her. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHAL, after hearing the evidence of ;he complainant, dismissed the case. HATTON-GARDEIV. Bridget Tobbin, an elderly Irishwoman, was brought up, charged by Mr. Fleming, the landlord of the Horse and Groom public-house, Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, with being drunk and having created a disturbance. The complainant stated that yesterday morning the pri soner entered his house, and called for a penn'orth o'gin, which she drank off, and called for another, when it infused through her a spirit of religion, and she commenced speak ing in a most sublime manner to some of his customers, who, finding that " her tongue was tipped with the brough," began to joke her about Mister O'Connell and his ac quaintances, and one of them asked Biddy whether she was a Protestant or Catholic ? Biddy took up the cudgels for O'Connell, and vowed that she was born a Catholic and would die one, and that Misther O'Connell was the " sa viour" of her country. An argument of a most abusive description took place. and Biddy was asked whether she had paid her " rint," which seemed to gall her honour so deeply that she called them a set of " Dayists," and, going outside, she caused a mob of about fifty persons, and it was found necessary to give her into custody. Biddy, who declaimed in a nervous manner outside the office against the party who brought her there, on being placed before Mr. Bennett, made a low but most beautiful curtsey, and stood with affected mildness until she was asked what she had to say to the charge, when she said, " Oh, your Werchip, I was never brought before such a jintleman as yourself before, and its a pity I should be brought now." Mr. BENNETT—What have you to say for creating a dis turbance ? Biddy—Sure, then, it was themselves that caused it, and not I ; I'm not dhrunk or foolish. Mr. BENNETT—What have you to say to the charge? Biddy—l paid for what I had, and they turned me out. Did'nt I hear 'em abusing my religion, and they inther fared, when they blew up O'Connell and myself, and I tould 'em they were a pack of blackguard Dayists, and to lave me and my religion alone, and they put me out. complainant—lt isn't the first time that she has made a noise and disturbance at my house. Biddy—Ould your tongue ; isn't there justice for me as well as for you ? Mr. BENNETT—Certainly ; will you promise me never to go and make a disturbance at his house again ? Biddy— Sure, then, I'll do that thing, your Honour, if you'll let me. Mr. BENNETT—Then: go home immediately, and take care that you are not brought here again, or I must order you to find bail. Biddy then knelt down, and ejaculated, " May Heaven bless your Honour," and on getting up she started off in baste, thanking his Worship. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Just as the business of the office was about to close on Monday afternoon, a person of gentlemanly appearance was brought up in custody, and placed before Mr. CHAM BERS, on the charge of being concerned with other persons in defrauding M. le Comte de Regina, the Secretary to the Neapolitan Embassy, of an acceptance to a bill of ex change for the sum of one thousand pounds. The prisoner, who had previously refused to give his name, in answer to a question from the magistrate, replied that it was Thomas Monk. The Count stated that a short time since a person who stated his name to be Drummond called upon him and told him that he would get him three hundred pounds if he would give him his acceptance for that amount. He agreed to do so, and this person then produced a blank stamp, across which witness wrote his acceptance, and be then took it away and said he would go to his brother and get the money, and return immediately. The Count, however, never saw him again. On that morning the prisoner called at his house and asked to see him, and he then said that he had just met a friend of his in the City, who had informed him that a bill of exchange for a thousand pounds was in the market, accepted by the Count, and he wished to know whether the acceptance was• genuine or not ; the Count upon this asked the prisoner several questions, and believing him to be concerned with the other party in committing the fraud, he gave him into custody.' Mr. CHAMBERS asked the prisoner whether he wished to give any explanation upon the subject ? The prisoner knew nothing whatever of the fraud in question. All that he knew was, that that morning be met a gentleman in the City, who told him that he had seen a bill for a thou sand pounds, bearing the acceptance of the Count ; and he wished him to inquire whether it was a good bill or no. Mr. CHAMBERS asked what the name of this gentleman was ? Monk said that he must decline answering that question. Mr. CHAMBERS thought it would be as well to allow time for further inquiries to be made, and he would take his (Monk's), own recognizance, to appear at the Office the next day. Yesterday. accordingly, the parties came again to the Office, and Mr. CHAMBERS, addressing Monk, the defen dant, asked him whether he still refused to g ive up the name of the gentleman who he represented had given him the first information of the bill in question ? Monk said he should persist in declining to give his name. At the same time he was most anxious to give the Count every assis tance and information in his power to discover the person who had defrauded him. The Count said that when Monk called upon him, and after he had told him of the fact of the bill being in the market, he asked him what his name was, and he refused to give either that or his address, and this induced him to be lieve that he was a party, concerned in the fraud, and he then gave him into custody. Mr. CHAMBERS said it was very evident he had been made a dupe of ; but he did not think that the parties who had obtained the acceptance would be able to negociate a bill for so large an amount without inquiries being made as to the genuineness of the acceptance, and then the fraud would be discovered. He added that he should not be warranted upon the evidence in detaining Monk, who was then ordered to be discharged. A young man, of a shabby-genteel appearance, presented himself yesterday before the Magistrate, to state that he was in great distress, and wi s h e d, as h e cou ld no t get em ployment in London, to be passed over to Ireland. On Mr. CHAMBERS making an inquiry as to his mode of life, the young man said that he was a landscape painter by profession, and an Irishman by birth. He had come to England about five weeks ago, hoping to find employment, and at the same time improvement in his art, but he found it impossible to do anything—pictures were at a discount, and artists were neglected. He had been in England before about four years ago, under the patronage of the Mar chioness of Ormond. He had then studied regularly at the National Gallery in Pall-mall, and had received instructions from Mr. Jacob Allen, of Pimlico. The Marchioness had gone abroad, and he was obliged to vacate the room which he occupied in her mansion. He returned to Ireland, and had supported himself until he started for England. He would be glad to accept any employment ; or, in failure of his wishes in that respect, requested the Magistrate to help him to get back to Ireland. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired whether he had any specimens of what he could do in his profession ? The artist replied, that want had forced him to part with all—nay, his very brushes, trifling as they were in value, had been disposed of. A Mr. Clarke, a grocer, in Weymouth-street, however, had a few pictures of his ; one he recollected was a landscape from nature, and another a copy of a piece by a Dutch master. These the Magistrate could see. Mr. CHAMBERS said that it was a pity, if talent existed, that something should not be done. He had a son exceed ingly fond of drawing, and the young man could have a fortnight's employment in giving him instruction, until something should be done for him. He would see the pic tures, and if they evinced proofs of ability, he would pro cure him employment for a time. The young man expressed his gratitude in warm terms for the Magistrate's kindness, and seemed well pleased at the prospect of having something to do. The Magistrate gave him a shilling, and desired him to be at Mr. Clarke's at half-past three yesterday, when he would go and view the pictures. QUEEN- S QUARE. John Simmonds, the man who has been in custody for up wards of a week, charged with a very distressing robbery on a poor Irish girl, was yesterday placed at the bar for re-ex amination. The prosecutrix on this occasion did not appear, but from the character of the prisoner's friends, who came forward, there is very little doubt some compensation had been made to her, which bad induced her to withhold her evidence. The prisoner was discharged. W OR SHIP- STREET. Yesterday Henry Tomlin, alias John Thompson, was placed at the bar before Mr. BROUGHTON, on a charge of stealing a quantity of plate, in value about 1001., the pro perty of Mr. P. Watson Borrodaile, of Walthamstow. He was fully committed. Mr. BROUGHTON strongly commended the conduct of all the officers engaged in the charge. LAMBETH-STREET . Yesterday John Hagger, a carter in the employment of Mr. Gray, a farmer, at Barkingside, Essex, and Richard Newman, an ostler at the sign of the Cape of Good Hope, Commercial-road, were brought up for final examination, the former on a charge of stealing a truss of hay, the pro perty of his master, and the latter of receiving the on' well knowing it to have been stolen. The truss of hay in question had been given to the Pr i ' soner, Hagger, to feed his horses with on the r oad to tow! and backwards, but instead of g iving them any por tion of It lie threw it from his waggon to Newman, and the latter was in the act of carrying it to his stable, when tw o policem e: in plain clothes, who had been watching their proceeding' pounced r on and apprehended them both. o! the from The MAGISTRATES thought it was necessary , , great extent to which this petty t h oug h cruel h plunder was carried, to make an example of those ed were detected in its perpetration, and therefo re comet at the prisoners for two months each to the H ouse of Co" rection. speci es .0; CORONERS' INQUESTS. Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. I' Ay r d Coroner for the City of London, at the Vestry - Hau t, - St. Magnus, London-bridge, upon the body of John Il u°l l l , aseaman, who died of apoplexy on board the Watertvitc Hull steam-vessel, on Saturday last.

While undressing, deceased, however, lou d denly jumped off the floor, uttering at the time 3 t he' e scream. Witness immediately asked her what Was ot matter ; when the deceased replied, " That sbe , er , completely cramped all up one side." -It soon, bowc-o seemed to go off, and deceased having finished end dressing, got into bed, and wishing witness go. night," desired her to tell Air.
